Making a difference

We are seeking an Autism Consultant to join our LIMA (Low Intensity Management for Autism) team to work in a low intensity management approach with adults around issues relating to people’s autism spectrum condition, providing timely and easily accessible support, signposting to other services and drawing on experience in autism to identify people who may be in need of more formal, therapeutic or social care support.  

Our support focuses on post-diagnostic and social skills support that covers specific issues faced by customers with autism, such as negative social experiences, the need to clarify social experiences, ways of promoting independence, help to develop coping strategies and to act as a sounding-board for people that may not have family or friends they feel able to confide in.  We can signpost people to appropriate autism-friendly community-based support, based on our team’s knowledge and expertise. We also provide guidance to mainstream services on how they can support people who have autism.   

We offer group, individual, online and telephone support. The role involves home working and possibility of some face to face sessions.

This is a part time role of 20 hours per month (work pattern to be decided by post holder).
